The sum up Petraeus' testimony in one sentence thread! Join in!
AFter all the analysis and examination of Petraeus' testimony is done, it should be possible to sum up the essence of his testimony today in one sentence(please no 'run-on sentences' that would exceed several normal paragraphs).

A good way for the rest of us unable to watch to catch up without having to read the hundreds of posts.

8. How about---'We need to wait for things to get better before we begin leaving'
Is that it in a nutshell?

15. Or "We need to wait until things are perfect before we begin leaving." and the definition of
"perfect" will be changed from day to day so we never have to actually start leaving.

18. Sing it everybody! "Everything is Beautiful, in its own way"
Everything is beautiful
In its' own way
Like a starry summer night
Or a snow covered winter's day
Everybody's beautiful
In their own way
Under God's heaven
The world's gonna find a way
